I had to laugh when you hit the birds! I hit a part of a large bird that had been hit by another car last summer. The part of the bird was a large wing which at first I thought was a piece of fabric until I got close. Then it hit the bottom of my car and flew out back in feathers. My son & friend were behind me in his pick-up truck towing his SCCA Honda CRX. They were laughing their heads off!
